Haynesworth is very tempting, but I think it would be best to continue to develop Montgomery, Golston, and not to forget we still have Griffin who I think can still be effective for a couple more seasons.

Re: Risk or Reward Albert Haynesworth???

Here are team needs the way I see it:
  1. Defensive line
  2. Wide receiver/s
  3. Offensive line
  4. Defensive backs
  5. Running back
The Redskins need to pay draft attention to the lines [O and D]. We've been working on the cheap with finds like Stephon Heyer and Anthony Montgomery. We can put off selecting an O-lineman for another year with Pete Kendall in the roster, but we need a pass rush from a down lineman even with improved coverage by the secondary.

So, yes, if a talent like Albert Haynesworh is available, we should take a look.

Cap room is a factor and the Redskins may be in even worse shape than usual next season. Shawn Springs will be gone. CP may be gone. There will be a cap hit to release Brandon Lloyd. Some high profile vets [Samuels?] may choose not to restructure their contracts and could be traded or released.

So, the Skins could be forced to mine the undrafted free-agent market -- again. But what they need is elite talent, like Haynesworth, and the cap room to sign them.

You listen to Peter King too much. Next year's team will be very similar to this year's with a few minor exceptions. The biggest offseason change will probably be wr or backup qb(s).

Screw it. Take him.

I've always liked the guys with the 'I'll rip off your helmet and stomp on your face' attitude.

Especially if it's a Cowboy face getting stomped....maybe we should try to get him.
